BOTTLE-CAP EEMOVER.

clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to a bottle cap remover, and has for its object the production of a simple, efficient and inexpensive bottle opener which may be readily applied to a counter, a wall, or other suitable support.

The preferred form of my invention comprises a bottle receiving member in the formof a ring provided with means for holding bottle caps and a retainer ring for securing said bottle receiving member to a support.

Figure I is a front elevation of my bottle cap remover. -Fig II is a vertical section. Fig. III is a detail view of the bottle receiving ring. Fig. IV is a detail view of the retainer ring. 7

In the accompanying drawings: A designates a portion of a wall, or counter, or other suitable support provided with an opening for the reception of my bottle cap remover. B designates a bottle receiving ring arranged in the opening in the support A and G is a retainer ring for securing the bottle receiving ring to said support. The rings B and C are preferably interlocked with each other by means of external screw threads formed in the ring B and meshing with internal screw threads in the retainer ring C. The retainer ring 0 is provided with a fiange 1 and fins 2 which are embedded in the support A and the ring B is provided with a flange 3 embedded in the outer face of the support. In assembling my bottle cap remover the retainer ring 0 is first arranged in the opening in the support A, as shown in Fig. II, and the ring B is then screwed into the retainer'ring to firmly secure the two rings to the support A. The fins 2 prevent the retainer ring from turning.

The ring B is formed with a plurality of lugs 4 having shoulders 5 adapted to engage the edge of a crown stopper or bottle cap, and stop lugs 6 adapted to limit the movement of the neck of a bottle in said Specification of Letters Patent.

In removing a bottle cap the bottle may be so positioned that its cap will be held by the lug at in the upper portion of the ring B and. the stops 6 at the middle of said ring. A downward movement of the bottle will then result in the removal of the bottle cap. If preferred the bottle cap may be engaged with stop lugs 6 and the lug A at the lower portion of the ring B and in this event the cap may be removed by moving the bottle upwardly, orthe cap may be removed by alternatively engaging the lugs A and by alternate upward and downward movement of the bottle.
